Armani Ceramic Link Removal

[matty_doh]

Hi all,

Just bought an Emporio Armani AR5922 and need a couple of links taken out. Took it to the local (Well regarded) jewellers to have them remove them and they basically said they wouldn't want to do it because of the ceramic part of the linkages.

Not being particularly au fait with watches (This is the first one I've spent triple figures on!) I am not sure what to do with it, I bought it from a private seller so I can't really ask the vendor for advice.

Does anyone have any idea what/where I can take it to have them removed? I am in Lancashire but I am willing to courier the watch to get it done.

I'll upload a picture of the links shortly once my camera battery has charged.

PS: I know Armani aren't particularly well regarded on here but hey, I like it! And it's a stop gap until I can afford a Submariner

Just had a quick search for these and it seems that the bracelet is stainless steel?

If so, then it should be just a question of determining whether screwed or pinned links.

Are there directional arrows on he inside of the bracelet pointing towards the edge? If so, this would suggest pins.

Perhaps your jeweller was just worried about scratching the paint?

Be able to clarify (hopefully) when you post the pictures.

Thanks for the reply.

I believe the bracelet itself is stainless steel but there appears to be a ceramic 'cap' for want of a better word over the joints. There is arrows on the inside of the bracelet so it should be pins going off what you have said

Just had a quick look at the only picture I could find and it looks to me like the pins should just push out.

When you up your pics I'll have a better idea...

Nice watch by the way.
